You asked and we listened! LONG POSE IS OFFICIALLY BACK!!

Doors open this Saturday at 10am. Come 10-15 minutes early to set up.
Park tight in the alley so we can maximize the cars in the lot
Meet Art Fortune ā purveyor of fine arts, protector of artists, and the one they call the Cane Father. An art connoisseur with zingers as sharp as his cane, here to keep the gallery floor in check (and keep you laughing while heās at it).
Follow along as Jesse shares the story of how Art Fortune was born and his vision behind Location 1980. If you want to meet the Cane Father in person, heāll be making his public reveal at our last art walk of the summer on September 19th!
Jesse Fortune sat down with Susan Petrella on the Bounce Podcast with @coastlineartgallery to talk about his background, the vision behind Location 1980, and what it really means to build a creative community in Orange County.
This is where it all started. Give it a listen. Full podcast interview link in bio.

Hey Location 1980 fam!
Big things are happening over here. Weāve been deep in a full studio transformation, fresh paint, a redesigned front facade, the works. When you pull up next time, you wonāt recognize the place (in the best way).
To keep this community thriving and the doors open for our artists, weāre running a plant sale this weekend and every dollar goes straight back into the studio.
Supporting events, shows, and the people who make this place what it is.
Weāve got candelabra trees, jade plants, and plumeria, all priced right. Slide into our DMs and come through.
Weāll be here all weekend.
This is your space too. Letās grow together. šæ
A studio space is opening up May 1st. And if you know Location 1980, you know these donāt stay open long.
Our studios have become one of the most sought-after creative spaces in the area because of the community inside them. Artists, makers, and craftspeople who push each other to work better, think bigger, and show up fully.
If youāre ready to uplevel your creative practice and surround yourself with high achievers who actually make things ā this is your moment!!
DM us to schedule a private viewing before itās goneā¦
